Szczawnica is a mountain health resort situated in a quiet valley of the Grajcarek Stream, right bank creek of the Dunajec River. The town is surrounded by Pieniny National Park, Slovak National Park and Popradzki Landscape Park. The name of the town derives from present in this area groundwaters, called by the local higlanders – Szczawa (highly carbonated natural mineral water). Szczawnica became famous due to the Dunajec River Gorge rafting which remains the main summer attraction of the Pieniny. On account of unique microclimate and omnipresence of mineral groundwaters, Szczawnica has over two-hundred-year Spa healing tradition. From the XIX-th century, it attracted aristocracy and members of the artisic class, eg. C.K. Norwid, A. Asnyk, J.I. Kraszewski, H. Sienkiewicz, B. Prus, M. Konopnicka, W. Pol, J. Matejko, A. Fredro and others.
As a tourist resort, Szczawnica is great excursion base to the Beskid Sądecki, Gorce and Pieniny (mountain ranges). They are crossed by the most popular trails, which lead to the highest peaks of the Gorce and the Pieniny, as well as wildlife reserve: Wąwóz Homole, Wysokie Skałki, and one of the most beautiful of all – Biała Woda. There are plenty of bicycle trip routes, and horse ride trails. The most famous among them is the Promenade along the Grajcarek Strem, which leads to erstwhile border crossing point with Slovakia. In the winter, through the presence of the numerous ski lifts, Szczawnica becomes a kingdom of winter sports.
